Reality television star Kevin Fortenberry is making his mark on the industry. Perhaps best known for his appearance on season 15 of the hit show, The Bachelorette, Fortenberry became an instant fan favourite. Charismatic and the ultimate family man, Fortenberry has left a lasting impression. Hailing from Manteno, Illinois, Fortenberry made his stripes as a behavioural health specialist for the US Army, where he counsels veterans through related trauma. Balanced with his healthy gym obsession, you’d be hardpressed to find Fortenberry far from pumping iron. Now, as Fortenberry sets his eyes on the future, it’s clear he has a long and exciting career ahead of him.

Fortenberry left such an impression in his first stint on The Bachelorette that he was called back for the ever-popular Bachelor in Paradise series. Despite only lasting until week two before being eliminated, Fortenberry captured the heart of a nation. While on the show, Fortenberry revealed that he is an accomplished musician and singer, which garnered him further brownie points with some of the contestants. Mixed with a love for all things Chipotle, Fortenberry’s lovable personality spoke for itself.

Since his departure from the series, Fortenberry has revealed his passion for acting that will hopefully transpire in his next career chapter. Balanced with his personal fitness training business and community spirit, there is a lot in store for this rising star.
